Chapter 29: Q. 59 (page 831)

An electron travels with speed 1.0×107m/sbetween the two parallel charged plates shown in FIGURE. The plates are separated by 1.0cmand are charged by a 200Vbattery. What magnetic field strength and direction will allow the electron to pass between the plates without being deflected?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Magnetic field strength,B=2mT and its direction is into the page

Step by step solution

01

Field of force (part a) 

When a field of force is applied to the moving charges inside a conductor, the Hall-voltage is that the steady - state condition electrical difference between the 2surfaces of the conductor. By equation, the Hall voltage is proportional to the present current Iinside the conductor and also the flux.

ΔVH=wvdB

Where wdenotes the plate width. Because no magnetism is applied on the electron at the steady-state potential, the electron will tolerate the plates without deflection.

B=ΔVHwvd

02

Physical phenomenon (part b)

Put the values:

B=ΔVHwvd

=200V1×107m/s(0.01m)

=2×10-3T

=2mT

An electron moves in the magnetic fieldB⇀=0.50i^T with a speed of 1.0×107m/sin the directions shown in FIGURE EX29.27. For each, what is magnetic force on the electron? Give your answers in component form.

The earth’s magnetic dipole moment is 8.0×1022A.m2.

a. What is the magnetic field strength on the surface of the earth at the earth’s north magnetic pole? How does this compare to the value in Table 29.1? You can assume that the current loop is deep inside the earth.

b. Astronauts discover an earth-size planet without a magnetic field. To create a magnetic field at the north pole with the same strength as earth’s, they propose running a current through a wire around the equator. What size current would be needed?

A long, hollow wire has inner radius R1and outer radius localid="1649505313415" R2. The wire carries current I uniformly distributed across the area of the wire. Use Ampère’s law to find an expression for the magnetic field strength in the three regions 0≤r≤R1,R1≤r≤R2andR2≤r.

The coaxial cable shown in FIGURE P29.56 consists of a solid inner conductor of radius R1surrounded by a hollow, very thin outer conductor of radius R2. The two carry equal currents I, but in opposite directions. The current density is uniformly distributed over each conductor.

a. Find expressions for three magnetic fields: within the inner conductor, in the space between the conductors, and outside the outer conductor.

b. Draw a graph of B versus r from r=0to r=2R2if R1=13R2.

Your employer asks you to build a 20-cm-long solenoid with an interior field of 5.0mT. The specifications call for a single layer of wire, wound with the coils as close together as possible. You have two spools of wire available. Wire with a #18gauge has a diameter of 1.02mmand has a maximum current rating of 6A. Wire with a #26gauge is 0.41mmin diameter and can carry up to 1A. Which wire should you use, and what current will you need?
